  This book offers a complete and humanised portrait of Hernán Cortés, from his origins as a poor hidalgo in 16th-century Spain to his role as architect of the new colonial order in New Spain. The reading of this volume accompanies the expedition to Mexico, the indigenous alliances, the fall of Tenochtitlán, and the construction of the viceregal system, without forgetting the private life of the conqueror: his loves, ambitions, contradictions, and conflicts.

  On Providence: Why Do Bad Things...

  Lucius Anneus Seneca, Aubrey...

  "You can surpass God himself. 
  He is beyond suffering evil; you are above it. 
  Despise poverty; no man lives as poor as he was born: 
  despise pain; either it will cease or you will: 
  despise death; it either ends you or takes you elsewhere: 
  despise fortune; I have given her no weapon that can reach the mind." 
   
  Seneca has a simple answer to the question of theodicy, which plagues us all, sooner or later. A friend asks him to explain why bad things happen to good people, and he tells them that the bad thing is essential. That virtue can only be forged and proved under fire, and that without testing, all you have is a softness and weakness that never develops or knows real strength. That we should be grateful for the slings and arrows of fate that assail us, because they give us the chance to forge and prove our true mettle. That God does not test those that are too weak for the testing, and that Fate wants a worthy adversary, not someone that will crumble at the first sign of her assault. 
  As far as Seneca is concerned, the only genuine evil is moral failure, he tells us that poverty, pain, death, and the reversals of fortune are not disasters, just invitations to discover what you're really made of. 
  Face your fate with your head held high. She only tests you because she knows you can bear it, and you CAN bear it, if you take these words to heart.

  British Intelligence in the...

  Many members of British society viewed war as a sport, a lethal one admittedly, but one played by gentlemen in the spirit of amateurism and fair play as it had been throughout the British Empire in the preceding decades. The bloody stalemate on the Western Front caught them unprepared for the dark arts of covert warfare which would be needed to avert defeat, gain the initiative, win the war and, ultimately, shape the peace. Those operations would witness the evolution of an ad hoc coalition of stakeholders from the military, the political elite, academics, technical experts, various kinds of industry, the media, and even the artistic community, all of which came together to wage a variety of forms of covert warfare. Many of the programs were technically successful, and in some cases, they undoubtedly saved lives and shortened the war.  
  	Given the nature of war, many operations and many technologies have to be covert in order to be successful, and that imposes limits on democratic oversight, but in the case of the First World War, the boundaries of what was acceptable under the bounds of morality and the laws of war were repeatedly challenged. 
  	World War II was also a conflict in which modern covert operations first hit their stride. From the jungles of Burma to the streets of Paris, spies, saboteurs, and commandos carried out missions built on secrecy and cunning. Precise, self-contained operations could be as important to the outcome of the war as acts of massive destruction, whether it involved targeted assassinations, sabotaging key logistics, or counterintelligence to break up the enemy’s own rings. At the time, most of these operations were hidden from the public since that was the only way they could be successfully carried out, but in the years since, stories about various missions have emerged. They paint a picture of incredible courage and ingenuity, whether in war zones, enemy territory, or far from the front lines.
